1999 BMW 528i Leaking Transmission Fluid…What to do?

by admin on December 13, 2009

My 1999 BMW 528i is leaking transmission fluid. I was planning on driving from san diego to san francisco (500 Miles) on friday…should i get this fixed before i leave? and any ideas what could be wrong? thanks
So i should drive it on my trip and then fill the trans fluid?

drive the car on your trip first, then change the fluid just make sure it is topped off properly before you go. the reason is cause changing the fluid can sometimes be enough to cause the trans to fail completely leaving you stranded. the leak could be any number of things, probly a gasket or seal.
